Real-time

From The IT Law Wiki

Real-time is usually used to describe situations when two or more people are interacting via their computers instantaneously, versus delayed back-and-forth communication, such as with instant messaging. As noted by one court:

“In addition to transmitting messages that can be later read or accessed, individuals on the Internet can engage in an immediate dialog, in 'real time', with other people on the Internet.”^[1]
